At the De Beers Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine, FWS Group undertook a critical project involving the inspection and repair of mechanical equipment at the mine's storage facility for blasting components. This project was executed under challenging conditions, highlighting the team's commitment to safety and operational readiness.

Project Features:

• Mechanical Inspections and Repairs: The project focused on the successful completion of equipment mechanical inspections and repairs at the storage facility for blasting materials. Given the safety-sensitive nature of this area, meticulous attention was required to ensure all equipment met stringent safety and operational standards.
• Timely Completion: The project was completed during the winter months, which presented unique challenges due to harsh weather conditions. The timely completion ensured that the facility was prepared to receive products as soon as the ice roads, essential for transportation to and from the remote site, were accessible.
• Fly-In Travel: The project was conducted as a fly-in travel operation, emphasizing the remote location of the Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine. This logistical approach required careful coordination and planning to manage the transportation of personnel and equipment to and from the site.
• Future Structural Repairs: The project plan includes structural connection repairs to the facility by KPIC during the summer months. These repairs are scheduled to address additional structural needs identified during the initial inspection and repair phase.

The De Beers Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine project underscores FWS Group’s ability to manage complex and safety-sensitive tasks under challenging conditions. The successful execution of mechanical inspections and repairs, coupled with strategic planning for future maintenance, ensures the ongoing functionality and safety of the storage facility.
